The Midas Touch Bundle

Here at Winding Road Racing, we are always trying to curate a list of products that help ease the woes of the modern shopping experience. With the knowledge and experience of our staff, we try to direct our customers to products that we know will keep them safe, be comfortable and helpful all while trying not to break the bank.

One of the ways we can do this is by combining products that work well with each other.

For instance, what if there was a data analysis system that required the user to interface with their smartphone while wearing racing gloves?

Well that brings us to The Midas Touch Bundle; combining what is arguably the best glove on the market hands down (pun intended), the Sparco Arrow RG-7 EVO Racing Gloves, with a highly innovative product that helps amateur racers slice seconds off their lap times, the APEX Pro Digital Driving Coach, we help our customers save time and money.

With Touch-S Technology on the index fingertip of the RG-7 EVO race glove, there is no need to remove your gloves to interface with the software of your APEX Pro making setup far less cumbersome.

Sparco Arrow RG-7 EVO Racing Gloves

•FIA 8856-2000 & SFI 3.3/5 Approved

•External Seams

•Pre-curved Fingers

•High Grip HTX Material

•Slash Cut Cuffs

•Touch-sensitive pads on both the forefinger and thumb for use with touchscreen devices

Newly designed for 2018, The Sparco Arrow RG-7 EVO is an external seamed race glove featuring a pre-curved finger design for added driver comfort. It features a brand new HTX printed silicone design on the palm offering high levels of grip with additional padding in the center of the palm to aid with impact absorbency. The Arrow RG-7 EVO also features Sparco’s touch-sensitive pads on both the forefinger and thumb for use with touchscreen devices. A slash cut cuff and an elasticized wrist closure also assist in creating a great fit.

HTX is a hard wearing, impact absorbing, high grip material exclusive to Sparco. Composed of a natural flame resistant resin it offers increased levels of grip while maintaining driver comfort and complying with the FIA requirements for gloves.

APEX Pro Digital Driving Coach

The APEX Pro Digital Driving Coach is fundamentally an artificial intelligence vehicle simulation algorithm, providing real-time feedback to the driver. Over the course of a track session, APEX learns the performance limits of your vehicle and models its optimal performance at each individual point on the track. To make the model easy to interpret, APEX displays your current performance as a fraction of your potential performance.

APEX uses inertial (IMU) measurements and GPS to model your driving ability, your car, and the track you are on in real time. As APEX learns, it will predict your theoretical performance instantaneously. To make the complex model easy to interpret, we reduce it to a single score that is shown on the DDC as a red bar extending from left to right. Because different situations require different levels of driving effort, the peak changes as you encounter different situations; for instance, most vehicles can brake harder than accelerate so the displayed peak is higher for braking.

APEX not only gives you real-time feedback on where you are losing time; it also lets you review each lap later, to evaluate both your lap times and APEX Score. There is also a neat tool called "Crew View", which allows your crew (or fans) to get live updates on your lap-times while you are on the track. If your driver pal has an APEX unit, you can track their times and performance as well.
